Hey all. So this is my second ever grow. First one didn't turn out so well. It was an Afghan Kush Ryder, and the results were poor because it was plagued with problems that I had no clue about. The result is currently curing, but I think I'll be lucky to get much more than an eighth. Anyway, on to try #2....
I will be growing in a 4x2x5 tent with 3 gallon/10 litre hempy bucket under a 400 watt ceramic metal halide light. I will be using distilled water. Once I start adding nutrients the veg nutes will be this stuff MixiGrow that a friend gave me, which worked very well when my AKR was veging. During flowering I'll be using some stuff called SensiZym that I picked up last week.
3 Think Different seeds were germinated by placing them in rockwool cubes, then placing those cubes in a tupperware container. I then sprayed water all over the damn place, closed the lid and finally placing it under the CMH light. 100% germination was achieved after approximately 16 hours, and shortly after the cubes were placed into the hempy buckets. All 3 seedlings were poking their heads out. As soon as I could see them they already had their first true leaves. Unfortunately, I think I lost a seedling, as when I got up this morning it had gone brown, shriveled up, and has retreated into the perlite/vermiculite. The other two seem to be just fine, though.
Pics here are a little blurry. I think I might be holding the camera too close, but I just woke up so I'm not even going to try right now.
Question about the TD: being a more sativa-leaning person, if I try to finished these in 9 weeks rather than 11 I assume I'll get a more sativa effect, right? Would that have a significant effect on yield or (since I've heard TD is a big producer) will it really matter much with this strain? And if I do run it for 11 weeks will it just be typical sativa with a little stone mixed in? I ask because I REALLY like the cerebral, creative-type high and I haven't had anything like that in a while. Oh, and also any tips for this strain (or just in general) are more than welcome.
EDIT: Pics are day 2.
